THE STORY
Venture into The Bookstore, where every page holds a spark of magic, and the destiny of this quaint shop hangs by a thread.
When the quirky owner dies and leaves it to her overwhelmed niece, Rachel, chaos (and comedy) ensue. Add in passionate employees, book-loving locals, and a smooth-talking real estate developer, and you’ve got a heartfelt, hilarious tug-of-war over what really matters: money… or meaning? Join us for a whimsical, witty tale about community, connection, and the magic of a good story.
Don’t miss The Bookstore—a funny and touching new play at Branch River Theatre!
